Rousey VS Cyborg

[av6258]

It's wack that cyborg left zuffa cause now it will never happen. These are the only two women the world wants to see fight. I know there is a 10lb difference but they could have fought at a catch weight and called it a day.

They could of, Dana said It made no sense and Rhonda said she isn't catering to cyborg. She has every right to say if cyborg wants to fight she needs to make weight. Basically i have no problem with it.

Dana white gets his panties in a twist whenever something isnt exactly how he wants. Look at the **** he says about coture. It is much different for a woman to drop 10lbs than a man. Rousey could come up 5 and cyborg down 5. Boom.

And like I said rousey said she doesn't have to that its up to cyborg to make weight, so no boom. As far as white zuffa doesn't seem to have a problem with him running things and couture I'm sure is no angel either.


Then again maybe your right, cyborg will probably die if she trys to make it 135....


Zuffa has everything to lose to do the fight at a catch weight, it's called business.

I'm a Rousey fan, but it seems fairly obvious she doesn't want that fight. She wants Cyborg to cut the weight so she'll be weaker that is her strategy I think. Cyborg is already ripped at her weight, she can't make 135. Besides Dana knows that Rousey as the face of women's MMA is good business for the UFC. Would people follow MMA with Cyborg as the face of women's MMA?Probably not, though I do think she is the better fighter.

Right, cyborg will die cutting to 135. Bullsh1t!

Of course she wants cyborg to cut the weight because she will be weaker that's the point to weight classes.

Are we under the assumption Cyborg is natural ? She doesn't look it and her husband is a notorious cheat .

Conversely, gaining 10# could make Rousey slower & less agile, making her vulnerable as well.

Catch weight/superfight..eventually there will be other weight divisions and other champions..champion vs champion..Ronda's the only recognized champion in the UFC the "UFC women's champ", so she can call the shots..like I said I love Ronda but she does not want that Cyborg fight. Cyborg just came off a year suspension to make that last fight for steroids..Also, Dana White has vested interest in keeping Ronda as the visible "women's champion," he gets more sales, akin to Brock Lesnar.

I dont believe she just doesnt want the fight! She wants on her term. Which are fair

I agree. I wouldn't want to make a huge compromise (in this case gaining 10#, or fighting a heavy competitor) to "prove" I want a fight, which is what I believe people are putting on here.

I think it's an unreasonable expectation that she should have to move to be queen bitch; she's dominating in a weight class that works for her. If anyone wants a piece of it, they need to come to her.

You are absolutely right, but someone else will come along and make for a good fight. Besides these types of fights are not really as exciting as the other top fights.
